l QUEST!Of: 2:
A statemert describing the number of-agency staff-hours
[
1 expended during FY 1988, FY 1989, and FY 1990 on regulation of practicer and materials that could be exempt from regulation under the BRC policy, j
ANSWER.
l l
The past resources that were expended on the regulation of practices and i
materials that could be exempted under the BRC policy cannot be specifi-i cally determined for the following reasons:
i The specific practices and materials that could be exempted under the BRC policy will be based on petitions for exemptions, as well as the review and revision as appropriate to existing regulations and exemptions. At this time, we do not know the number or type of petitions that the NRC will receive.
In addition, it is difficult to determine what activities during this past period I
would have been directly related to the new BRC policy since certain exemptions and activities, although BRC related, would have occurred with or without the BRC policy. For example, although the NP.C will develop regula-tions and guidance for acceptable soil contamination levels using the new BRC policy, such regulations and guidance would still need to be developed if the policy had not been issued. New regulations and guidance based on the BRC
-j policy will provide a consistent level of protection for decomissioning and I
other exempted practices. Also, current accounting of regulatory resources does not permit a detailed quantification of resources that have spent for the specific activities that could be exempted from regulation under the BRC policy.
